Using Generative Artificial Intelligence for Reading R&D Center (U-GAIN Reading), is a research and development hub that will investigate how to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) to improve elementary school reading instruction for English learners (ELs).
U-GAIN Reading’s focus on ELs responds to an important policy goal at the US Department and in most states and districts. Only 33% of ELs achieve National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Basic reading level—whereas 67% of all fourth-grade students reach this level. Teachers are essential to learning to read, but cannot spend as much time with each individual student as needed. U-GAIN Reading will investigate how to adapt reading instruction that adapts to students’ strengths and needs in order to help schools provide greater support and feedback to increase reading fluency and comprehension.
